#innercritic — Public Fediverse posts

The most dangerous enemy often isn’t “out there” it’s the voice inside that doubts, shames, and sabotages you.

Look straight at the perfectionism

Ask yourself what perfect looks like. What are the specific elements? What’s on the checklist?

Procrustes will never have an answer to this question, but always a response along the lines of “I’ll know it when I see it.” That’s not good enough. He has no idea what perfection means! He’s exposed. He cannot meet his own standards. He’s in his bed. You know what to do. Grab your creative tools and get to work.

~ Boston Blake, from Perfectionism

I’ve long agreed with the sentiment that “I’ll know it when I see it” is bullshit. I’ve long thought that was because if one doesn’t know “what it should look like” then one doesn’t actually understand whatever it is we’re talking about judging. My thinking was focused on identifying whether or not I (or whomever) was capable of judging.

But this insight from Blake got me thinking about a more fundamental layer of judgement: If I (or whomever) is not capable of judging (as evidenced by espoused sheep dip like “I’ll know it when I see it”) then I shouldn’t even be involved in the judging. Which is also a powerful way to banish my own internal critic.

ɕ

The “intimate enemy” is the voice in your head that sounds like you but speaks from fear, shame, and old wounds.

I named my inner critic "The Beast." 👹
When he starts listing my flaws, I just say,
"Okay Beast, thanks for sharing," and move on.
It’s hard to take the insults seriously when the voice has a silly name.

SPEAKING SHAME 8/10
Shame shows up as internal recordings—shame tapes, gremlins—messages of self-doubt and self-criticism. The less we speak it, the more control it has. 🎧

(Im)Perfect Her 7/10
Person B ties her self-worth to flawlessness. Mistakes aren’t just errors—they feel like personal inadequacies. This mindset erodes her confidence and well-being. 💔

The inner critic only survives if you argue with it or try to fix it.

Let it speak into emptiness -

no reply,
no defense,
no stage.

A voice without an audience falls silent.

Time for a fragment of lyrics. These are from my song 'Come On, Get Real', which is about the dreaded inner critic. These spoken word/rap lyrics were written to defeat it! The whole song is on my EP that came out in 2022, 'Getting Real'.

Grateful my inner critic is off on vaca with @scbiz 's (this AM I imagined them sipping margaritas in a Cancun bar like basic b**ches)

b/c my 2nd pro book review came back this morning and it's good -- with a couple of zinger digs. Usually that would send me into a tailspin but today I looked at it and went

"Well that person's not my reader"

and then thought

"Wait -- who was THAT that just spoke up?"

Because I want to hear more from whoever *that* voice is.

Except unfortunately, *I* did know.

As a child I tried so hard not to believe it. How could those who “love” you, treat one that way?

So I took all that blame and turned it towards myself.

Hence, why many of those who taught me that lesson, still walk the earth today.
